These are in syringes used to flush a pic-line and no longer needed.
Is there a safe way that I can dispose of heparin? I also have extraSodium Chloride. Thank you?

I recommend that excess syringes always be returned to a proper disposal site - like a Dr office. They should be able to take them with meds still in them or empty. You can probably just call the DR office or any hospital and ask if you can drop them off for disposal.
Thank you!
